Overview

Almost three-quarters of our planet is covered in water. Whether in oceans and seas, estuaries, fjords, lakes, ponds or rivers, marine habitats host a vast array of animal life – from the smallest single-celled plankton to the largest animal on Earth, the blue whale, from freshwater fish like cichlids to tropical species like lionfish.

As the Zoology with Marine Zoology (Hons) degree at Bangor University progresses, you can focus on specialist topics, such as marine mammal science, marine and fish physiology, or marine conservation.

Career

If you are looking to help save the planet, this degree prepares you to join other marine zoologists in the search for ways to save endangered species and mitigate the impact of human activity on animals and their habitats.

Typical roles may include:

Animal control officer
